Day 129 - Nick Writes!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
With Nick's Cerebral Palsy, we've been warned by the neurologist to be on the lookout for learning disabilities. Because of this, I've been hyper-vigilant about trying to be sure that if there is anything wrong, that we catch it early. Since he started reading at such an early age, I don't think he has any problems in that area, but his fine motor skills are a whole different issue! Up to this point, he has shown no interest whatsoever in trying to write, draw, or color. It seems that he just gets frustrated when he tries to copy even the simplest shapes. I struggle to decipher if it's because he's just not ready yet (he's only 3!) or if it's a sign of a true problem associated with his CP. Fortunately, I found this stencil device at a local homeschool supplier. Nick loves it! It helps him to strengthen his motor skills while allowing him to finally "write" out the words he's been wanting to write.
